Pamela Herron replied to the topic Syllabi in the discussion
Ecocriticism and Environmental Humanities on MLA Commons 11 years agoThat sounds like a great idea! I am piloting a new course I’ve developed called Daoism and the Environment and I am combining the Daodejing with more traditional environmental writing including many Native American poets and writers.
